The invention relates to a
silicon-carbon
composite material and a preparation method and application thereof.The preparation method comprises the steps that a porous
graphite raw material is subjected to acid
pickling and smashing to obtain pretreated porous
graphite, then the pretreated porous
graphite is soaked in a carbon precursor solution in a vacuum mode,
carbonization treatment is conducted after
centrifugal separation, pores of the porous graphite are filled with carbides, physical activation is conducted, and the
silicon-carbon
composite material is obtained; the preparation method comprises the following steps: forming pores in a
carbide to form a graded pore structure to obtain a porous
graphite composite material, then carrying out
silicon deposition in a
fluidized bed to obtain a uniform
nano silicon layer, and then carrying out
carbon coating treatment to obtain a silicon-carbon
composite material; the graphite with relatively low cost is adopted as a matrix, high capacity and long cycle performance of the graphite-based silicon-carbon negative
electrode material are realized through hierarchical pore structure design,
carbonization-activation synergistic pore forming and interface
deposition process optimization, and the graphite-based silicon-carbon negative
electrode material can be applied to the fields of power batteries and high-energy-density
energy storage, especially the field of
lithium ion batteries and has wide application prospects. The
expansion rate of the battery can be reduced, and the specific capacity,
cycling stability and safety of the
lithium ion battery can be improved.
